It's INCONCEIVABLE to me how ANYONE in power is caught by surprise by anything this Reich is doing. How ANY department isn't "hardening" against an assault THEY'RE ANNOUNCING.

Social Security official ended program for Maine newborns because he was ‘ticked’ at Mills
U.S. Rep. Chellie Pingree said the rationale given by Lee Dudek, the acting commissioner of the Social Security Administration, is 'infuriating and absurd.'

Ohio Republicans claim $600 million for public education is "unsustainable," but they have no problem handing that same amount to billionaire team owners for a new stadium.
